<u><em>Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.</em></u>
<u><em>An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.</em></u>
Explanation:
In the biological world, a trait can be described as a genetic characteristic which makes up an organism. Every organism has a particular set of traits.
Traits are inherited from parents, however they can be influenced by the environment.
The alleles of a gene make up the genotype and the influencing phenotype. An organism acquires one allele for the gene pair from each parent.
When both the alleles of a gene pair are similar, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If both the alleles of a gene pair are different, the organism is said to be heterozygous for the trait.

Tendons are a type of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bones. They are strong, fibrous and flexible. They also attach muscles to other organs. Tendons have a high tensile strength which is useful to withstand muscle contractions. They are made up of bundles of connective tissue that contribute to its strength.
